The other night, I was joking around with my boyfriend and play wrestling with him (yes, I'm an adult!
). As I was trying to wrestle his arms away so I could tickle his stomach, he said through laughter, "How are you so strong??"
Weight lifting, baby. Oh yeah!

Went to bump the laundry door shut with my hip... and missed because my hips are a lot narrower than they used to be! Gonna have to put an auto-closing thing on that door.8

@JanetMMcC @120poundstogo
Thanks! Pretty much a habit by now. That's great!
156 is great! Knew seeing the 100 meant that it was working and more likely to keep going. Really wish I started weight lifting to begin with since would be so much closer to goal instead of mainly doing cardio back then. Healthy mix of doing both and seeing much more progress. Everything is a learning experience!

I cleared out my closet maybe three weeks ago, and sorted all the 'too small' clothes into boxes labelled for when I thought they'd be worth trying on again.
Today I pulled down the first box of things that were all a bit tight at that time, and every single thing fits. I even chose not to keep a few because they weren't flattering, and removed a few of the larger things currently in my closet for the same reason. If I suddenly have so many 'new' clothes, why keep things that are just baggy and/or shapeless?
It was a very nice feeling. 13 -
Back up to 75lb on the squat. Excited!11

I can do a lot more sit-ups at a much faster pace. ^_^7

A shirt I used to wear to work is now long enough to be a dress. It used to come to just under my waist. Feels great!7

today I wore a pair of shorts which used to always be a bit big on me, and then all last summer were way too small, couldn't even get them over my thighs. they finally fit me perfectly and I'm stoked to finally be able to wear them 10

I scored a pair of size 4 skinny jeans yesterday at Goodwill and they're a bit loose, but comfortable. I also got a pair of boys' jeans at Target for 2.50 on clearance.
I was wearing 18 to 20 women's jeans last year (or 36 men's) and would never have considered skinny pants.15 -
A pair of size 10 pants I bought last month are hanging around my hips, dragging the floor. And it's not that I've lost weight, or been an exercise demon. But I am walking more.
My two previous requirements for pants (aside from fitting) were wash-'n'-wear and gotta have pockets. I'm adding a third: Belt loops.

@rideclercq4 - very cool on the flip turns! When I was in high school, my stroke was 'fly (and therefore also IM). What was yours?
@dutchand... how wonderful about your mother!
@kathygk56 - huzza for knee bones! :-D And for loose skinny jeans! Me, I'm still not thinking about skinny pants ... but I'm 64, need panties, and don't like pantylines.
@teahlee123 - I'm not sure what an arc trainer is, or resitance 15, but it sounds impressive as all get-out! COngrats!
@sarahkan... - wonderful about the measurements & soon-to-be-"big pants".
@120pound... - "it's something"? No, it's a lot more than that. Way looser clothes are great!
Re "cardio is all I can manage" -- You might try some 3-pound weights, and some bodyweight exercises.
@shaybee377 - way to go on the binge-free Sunday! Three gold stars for you!
@thereshe... Wow! thats one impressive hike!
@meritage4 - very cool about the speed boost!
@1nana2many - truth comes out of hte mouths of babes and children.
@barbara3... - happy 1derland!
@gamelia - excellent on the stairs, and the pants!
@vada44 - it feels so good to have the loss noticed, dunnit?
@April_Chi... any plans for the extra material?
@Dana_E - what a lovely way to change your day! I hope the kid's OK. What's P90X3?
@fitfatty88 - Nothing like having your loss made concrete! And what a testament to your increased fitness!
@cobblah - Congrats on the dechinning! (From your pic, doesn't look like more than 1.)
@StacyChrz - Best. Day. Indeed! So now you're a fast woman? ;-D
@meganpai... - way to go, weightlifter!
@Elizabeth... - you'll adapt to those thinner hips. ;D
@carmkizzle - a pair of cool compliments!
@VryirishGirl - way to slim down! XL to L ... when I passed that line, I felt so ... so ... *normal*.
@SueSueDio -- Oh, very cool, about the closet cleaning. A few weeks ago, I handed on all of my outslimmed pants -- well, at least all those I found at the time, that were clean -- to other members of the chorus I sing in. One told me it was so nice to have pants with pockets.
@unawind - wow. I can manage 60 on the abdominal pull thingie, but not on much of anything else that involves arms.
@Erephyre - well done on the sit-ups!
@Canuckgirl - Very cool, about your "dress shirt."
@Obsidian... - yay for the shorts!

Having a few wins lately:
- shirts size is going from XXL to XL
- previously too-small pants are now baggy
- flights are getting more comfortable - more slack in the seatbelt, legs not pushing into the armrests, plenty of room between the tray table and my stomach
- fitting on rides at a theme park without the attendant having to shove the restraint down to make it "click"7 -
Today I went to the gym planning to walk for 60 minutes (it's one of my off days from weight training). 10 minutes in I got bored of walking and decided running would feel better! That's right, I actually *wanted* to run! I alternated running and walking for the next 35 minutes 20

I've been reading this thread for the past few weeks--almost sad that I finally caught up to the end of it. It's been so inspiring! One NSV I had recently was taking my grandkids to our favorite bagel shop and only having an unsweetened iced tea while they had bagels. It was after school, not really time for a meal, I wasn't even hungry, but the old me would have had a big old bagel anyway. This time, I was fine with drinking my iced tea and just spending time with them.12

It was yoga clas after work. I had forgotten my shorts and had a t-shirt dress on. I realized I had a friends harem pants in the car.
They fit and were fine for yoga as I took them off I realized they were MEDIUM Not L or even XL.
They fit for YOGA-with all that stretching
Yay for a smaller me!11 -
Someone told me I looked great, and I really believed them.19
